Plastik Missle Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hi all! I remember a model kit some friends of mine brought from Japan waaaaaay back when Robotech was still very very new (along with colouring books), and it was our first clue about RT's origins. Anyway, I've pretty much lost contact with those childhood friends and I would like (for nostalgia's sake) to ID that model kit. I don't remember much about the box except one very strange thing. On the side (or possibly in an insert, can't really remember) where they were listing pics of the other valkyrie (and a Glaug too I think) kits available the valks were in camofulage colours, which struck as me wierd. I have no idea what company made that kit (that's why I'm asking). My first thought was Revell, but I'm pretty sure my friends brought it from Japan. So can anyone help me here? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom64ss Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Go here: http://www.me.umn.edu/~ngo/ Click Models, fifth row from the bottom are the old Revell Valkyrie kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastik Missle Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hmmm. The camo colours look dead on, but did Revell release a Glaug? I'm pretty sure I saw a Glaug (or some kind of Zentradi mech - this is a 15 year old memory I'm talking about here.) in the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom64ss Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I don't remember them making a Glaug. IIRC, the Revell kits were just reboxes of the IMAI kits, so you can always look to those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechleader Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 They did make one. A 1/72. It's VERY rare! I only saw one on ebay about a year ago and that one was from Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Yeah I saw that glaug too, when I saw it I thought it was a mistake, it was never in their catalog inserts either. Most were Dougram kits and then the variable ones "Robotech Changers" were the 1/72 Variable valkes (painted in hideous schemes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastik Missle Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 I looked through the IMAI kits in MW's models section, but none of them had camo schemes. It looks like it really was Revell (although the picture of the Glaug still haunts me). But were Revell kits even released in Japan? Because if there's any part of that memory I'm sure of is that they bought it from Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
